Biography

Hey. I'm Steve Keys and this is my band, The Space Trannys. I'm a straight-laced slacker, and the Trannys are a well-travelled (mostly through space, but some of Manitoba) band of misfits. I bring the songs, they bring the sass. Our songs sound something like Rock n' Roll Blues Punk, or a fusion of 60's and 70's sounds mixed with a couple sounds from a couple of years from every other decade. Steve sings and plays simple guitar chords. Brent plays salty licks that we like to call guitar solos. Andy slaps bass (not the fish). Zackwards... well, he's here to keep us in line. Welcome to our page, please check out our songs and pictures. Seeya 'round.

hmmm... well, I'm working on setting up somethings for may, but its all always very complicated to convince people to let a unknown band make noise for an hour in their business establishment... why don't we do a little tit for tat? perhaps I'll set up a Winnipeg Iman/Spacetrannys night and then you get a little winkler Spacetrannys/Iman night going and we'll put on some rock shows? I'll figure out a venue for Winnipeg and you get one going for Morden... they don't need to be in april or may or anything... but sometime before the snow falls again. Hell even Brandon... I've got family and friends in Brandon and it would be fun to take the boys on a road trip.

Thanks for the pledge of secrecy. We wouldn't want to hurt their feelings....hopefully they don't stumble over here... and hopefully they don't know how to read.

But Hmmm good places to play? It depends. We've played at a Plum Coulee bar a few times, and we played at a social put on by the Winkler bar, but neither of those bars book a large amount of live music. We've got some shows coming up in Morden that are being put on by the peope who run Morden Folk Fest. There's a couple bars in Morden too, where bands have played, but we haven't... So there are some opportunities, but you can't play constantly around here.

We've been trying to get gigs in Winnipeg actually, we've called around and emailed but haven't had any luck. Are there any places out there where an unknown band will get a chance to play? Or how does one do it? Is there genital touching involved? Any tips on this would be much appreciated.
